Social X

Social X Purpose – Creating The Social Business Index. The demand for market data about social and sustainable enterprises is growing, but the supply is fragmented and not thorough. They are here to change that. Today’s ambitious pioneers in Nordic enterprises have set out to create societal improvements. They combine commercial income with social and sustainable products that provide solutions to climate change, a better environment, social issues, cultural development and other societal challenges. Fortunately there is a growing interest in these kind of enterprises from investors, customers, consumers, researchers, politicians and people seeking an even more fruitful career. But there is a lack of assessment of the social impact they achieve and no really valuation of the market – the profit as well as social improvements. They believe that structured insights into the market can highlight the many business opportunities and demonstrate the positive impact on their common society. With The Social Business Index they will provide the perspective: structured data, mapping and studies on the Nordic market for social and sustainable enterprises. Sharing the accurate and valuable insights will provide a common basis for the different stakeholders in the market. In the long run, maintenance and publication of these data may be the most valuable story of all the positive results that the people behind these businesses generate. The Social Business Index is available for free. Social X is in itself a social enterprise sharing knowledge and insights about social and sustainable enterprises in the Nordic region.
